Caitlin Flanagan
Caitlin Flanagan (born 1961) is an American writer and social critic.[1] A former staff writer at The New Yorker, she is a contributor to The Atlantic.[2] Her book To Hell with All That: Loving and Loathing Our Inner Housewife was published by Little, Brown in 2006.
Born and raised in Berkeley, California, Flanagan holds a B.A. and an M.A. in Art History from the University of Virginia. Before becoming a writer, Flanagan was an English teacher and college counselor at the Harvard-Westlake school in North Hollywood, California.[3]
Flanagan works from home and employs a nanny and a housekeeper.[4][5] Some of her essays underscore the emotional rewards and social value of a traditional housewife's role. Consequently Joan Walsh of Salon has criticized her for misrepresenting her life choices, and then condemning other women for not choosing the more traditional lifestyle.[6]
She has appeared as a guest on The Colbert Report and Real Time with Bill Maher.

Flanagan is a breast cancer survivor.[7]
